Learn. Create. Write.
Blog
This is a blog for anyone looking to transition to corporate Learning & Development. Posts include tips for a successful job search, explanations of basic instructional design concepts, and stories from my own career pivot.
When I decided to leave education and seek a corporate ID role, reading content by people in the field confirmed that I was on the right path. I hope to pay it forward and provide some insight into the job change process for others by documenting my experiences.
